- Involved in both Aerodynamics and GNC roles- Working with SU2 CFD package to programmatically perform parametric studies of a simple geometry- Using basic control and aerodynamic concepts to size control surfaces in preliminary design phases- Liaising with teams of other engineering disciplines to update requirements based on stability and control- Adding to the flight dynamics model to add fidelity and improve simulation quality- Developing core vehicle functionality within the Guidance framework, and adding models for associated parameters to the simulation capability- Running and analysing Monte Carlo simulations to assess vehicle capability when subject to statistical variation in modelling and performance specs

- Contributed as a Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) engineer to develop the vehicle management solution and simulation capability for an autonomous R&D aircraft- Tasking mostly involved updating existing models and code to improve functionality or fix bugs- Was solely responsible for an analysis package that was critical to range safety case for flight trials- Attended flight trials where my responsibilities expanded and I was involved in critical decision making that would determine a go/no-go for flight- Delved into the Navigation side of GNC with an internal R&D project, developing code and models for sensor fusion
